Got this in an email for ticket packages... very cool picture. Never new the Chiles Center could look so artistic.

Also, speaking of ticket packages... for those who don't have season tickets, you should really, really look into the 3-game packages they have. $45 for each - the "purple" package has UW, Santa Clara and USD and the "Gold" package has Nevada, Saint Mary's, and Gonzaga. That Gold package really is a terrific deal... those teams could all be ranked when we play them, and $45 to see all three? What a great deal!

The Purple and Gold packages are a great deal... buy both, and you get upgraded to lower level reserved seating... it doesnt get much better than that...

... oh wait it does! Support the Pilots with full season tickets! Dont miss *any* of the games!

FYI, tickets for the Nov. 18th game at PSU/Stott Center go on sale November 3rd at the PSU box office (503-725-3307); the Ticketmaster site shows them on sale on 12/1/08, which of course is days after the game... Lets cover the Stott Center in purple!

Coming home tonight, I saw the picture of the team on a giant banner at the intersection of I-5 and I-84. Cool! It's on the side of the building next to the freeway. Previous banners there have highlighted Ducks bball, our women's soccer and the Blazers.

Washington is coming to town soon! Hopefully TJ's quickness will offset Isiah Thomas's supposed excellent ability. Between he and Kramer maybe they can slow Thomas and Brockman. The transfer from Stanford has alot of offensive capability too. Maybe Ethan or Nik can neutralize him somewhat.At least Appleby is gone.....but Pondexter is still there, thats where Jasonn and Hegarty have to step up and Help Robin and Kramer (and Luke?) . Can you tell I'm jacked up for regular season to start. Anybody have any suggestions for Satellite TV here in PHX,Direct TV etc... Still trying to get as many games as I can , without stretchnet's marginal viewing's.

FYI there is also a large cutout version (I'm not sure how to describe it) on a billboard down in the Jantzen Beach area just after you cross the I-5 bridge coming into PDX... And yes John Hegarty is terrifying in that one as well.

Interesting, for comparison sake for another guy around 7'1 and 320 lbs...Shaq's shoe size is 21 EEE...so I guess 22 sounds like it's bigger than Shaq's. If Hegarty can keep getting leaner and bringing his body fat % down, he could really be something else. It sounds like he has very good skills for a guy his size...
